Some Knitting Since Christmas

Here are a few of the projects I've finished since Christmas.  Some of them I forgot to take pictures of before I mailed them off to their recipients!

First up, is this dress and hat that I made for my friend Megan.  She is expecting her second child, a girl, within the next few weeks and I had to make sure she had something cute to wear this spring!

 

And a pair of baby sandals for her to wear right away!

And then, my brother Jordan's birthday was the beginning of January.  But he didn't put in his "order" until around Christmas time, and I couldn't finish what he wanted in 2 weeks, so it's a little late, but hopefully he likes it!

He wanted a black cabled scarf

 

And some texting gloves.

 

Jayden's Monster T-Rex

I will never make this dinosaur again .... unless Willow becomes dino obsessed and begs me to make one, then I might.  It took forever and then there was so many pieces to have to sew together, and I really dislike doing tons of finishing work.  I didn't even have it all sewn together when we left for Washington, so I finished it up after I got there just a couple days before Christmas.  I had no idea it was going to be so huge!   This thing took up a ton of room in the suitcase!

 

 

This pattern came from a free pattern from Patons that I found on Ravelry and I used a bunch of Comfort DK to make it with.   

A Hat for Bronx

I ran across this yarn while I was in Kelso visiting one of my favorite yarn stores, La Favorites.  It immediately made me think of my friend Sabrina, who has a son, Bronx, for whom I've been searching for yarn to make him a funky little hat out of.

I didn't really have a pattern for this, something like CO 40, knit for  4 or so inches, then decrease around, on size 10's or something.  I gave it to Sabrina today and she sent me this picture.

How cute is he?
